    After Luo Yuanhuan left, the quiet room truly became quiet.

    Abbot Huiguang must have made arrangements in advance, and the three shadow guards who left just now must have consciously guarded in the distance to prevent others from approaching. Nangong Wuji took a deep breath, but before he could speak, Nangong Wuji  He sighed first and said, "Second brother, you really don't want to let me worry."

    Just these words made Nangong Wuji, the most powerful deputy commander of the Shadow Guards, so ashamed that he almost wanted to kneel down and plead guilty.  In the eyes of others, the head of the Nangong family is just a respected legendary elder, but in the eyes of everyone in the Nangong family, he is a living god.  Although Nangong Wuji ignored secular affairs after retiring and never even took care of housework, the respect and admiration of the Nangong family for him has not diminished by half. This old man has done enough for the world and the Nangong family.

    "After retiring these years, I really don't want to get involved in all the grievances and grievances in the temple and the rivers and lakes. I have been involved all my life, and I am really tired. I just water the flowers in my old house in Yuzhou all day long.  , growing vegetables and teaching the children at home, I am already very satisfied." Nangong Wuji glanced at Nangong Wuji.  "But I didn't expect that things would get to the point where I have to intervene. Second brother, think about it for yourself, what have you done in these years?"

    "III failed to do a good job, and I failed to live up to my brother's expectationsI let him down." Nangong Wuji buried his head, his face full of shame and guilt.  Everything he had, whether it was wealth.  The glory and status are all inherited from this big brother.  There is even the most fundamental thing, ideal.  When he was young, it was when the Nangong family was in the most decline and embarrassment. He would never forget how the family slowly rose again in the hands of his eldest brother, and he would never forget the ridicule and eye-rolling he had received since he was a child, and then gradually because of  The name Nangong Wuji turned into heartfelt awe and admiration.

    When he thought about having to let his eldest brother, who had retired for many years, come out to work again, he felt no less guilty than a child who had failed to live up to his parents' expectations.  If there was anything that could be remedied, he would do it immediately and at any cost.

    "You are wrong." Nangong Wuji said calmly.  "It's not that you didn't do it well, it's that you went too far."

    ¡°Ah?¡± The expression on Nangong Wuji¡¯s face became more complicated.

    "Back then, when you and that little brother She were planning some heavenly plan. I knew that you had gone astray. I originally hoped that you would wake up slowly on your own, so I never said anything and still let you take charge of the Shadow Guards.  . Until you practice the Art of Seizing Heaven and Creation. I just asked the two masters Huiguang Huiguang to help you abolish it when they have the opportunity. But what I didn¡¯t expect is that even though the Art of Seizing Heaven and Creation has been abolished, you still haven¡¯t woken up at all.  It means" Nangong Wuji looked at Nangong Wuji, his eyes were clearly surrounded by wrinkles, but they were bright, simple and powerful like a young man.  "Now let me ask you, why are you doing this?"

    "Of course it's for the great world, for the rise and fall of humanity" Nangong Wuji's answer was a little hesitant at first.  But later on it became more powerful and more certain.  "Working hard for my eldest brother in this life will not be in vain. In order to let the inheritance left by my eldest brother last forever in the world and be praised by the world forever!"

    "Oh? That's why you tried your best and allowed Yuan Zhiyue to seduce Brother She, send him the ghost plan to trick him into practicing the ghost heart spell and formulate those heavenly plans, and just watch Fang Zhifang run the Shenji Hall for more than 20 years  , just waiting to receive it in the future. So you went to practice the art of seizing heaven and fortune, and collected the secrets of the demon sect for the shadow guards to useare these all for this?"

    Nangong Wuji's voice was pure and gentle, and it did not sound angry at all, but Nangong Wuji felt a little cold sweat behind his back. Of course he knew that these methods would not be possible if they were used by Jianghu forces, such as Tangjiabao.  There is no problem at all, but after all, the Nangong family is a Confucian family inherited from the previous dynasty. Although Confucianism is declining now, inheritance is inheritance. All the children of the Nangong family have been familiar with Confucian classics since they were young.

    What¡¯s more, Nangong Wuji¡¯s title of Unparalleled National Scholars means that there are certain bottom lines that must never be touched.  At least Nangong Wuji thinks so.

    So Nangong Wuji has always been a little uneasy about this, and he didn't dare to reveal these things to his elder brother, but he didn't expect that he still knew about it.  But thinking about his goal again, his voice became firm again and he said: "but that is indeed the most efficient method. That artificial plan was indeed the genius idea of ??Brother She, and it was enough to fundamentally change  The general trend of the world. The Heaven Seizing Technique is also the best way to improve your cultivation in a short period of time. After all, although the Shadow Guards have many talents, what they lack most is top combat power. Use the Haoran Qi Heart Technique and Buddhist mudra,  It can indeed minimize the backlash"

    Nangong Wuji waved his hand, interrupted Nangong Wuji's words, and said lightly: "Then you think, brother, I have worked hard all my life, soFor what reason?  "

    Nangong Wuji was startled and said: "Brother has endured all kinds of hardships, endured humiliation and burdens, and worked hard all his life. Naturally, it is to save the people of this world from life in water and fire, to make the saints' orthodoxy perpetuate in the world, and to revitalize our Nangong family.  One lineage"

    "No, you are wrong. I have never thought about the world or the orthodoxy of saints. I just want to do that." Nangong Wuji shook his head and said calmly.  "You can also say that I just want peace of mind."

    "Peace of mind?" Nangong Wuji frowned.  He couldn't quite understand that the motivation behind achieving such a world-renowned achievement couldn't be as simple as child's play.

    Nangong Wuji seemed to be able to see his confusion and smiled slightly.  "In this life, all I can do is seek peace of mind. In the past, when I saw that the world was about to fall, and that wars were raging and people were devastated, I felt that I had to do something, so I followed the master Xuan Xuanzi and walked with the sword to assist the late emperor in stabilizing the world.  . At any point you reach, you just do what you think you should do. As for whether it will succeed or not, I have never thought about it. In the end, I was lucky enough to achieve something and win some false fame, but I just took advantage of the trend.  Success. That is to say, you think it¡¯s great, but I don¡¯t care much about it.¡±

    "The Tao is not far away from people. People are the Tao and those who are far away from others cannot be the Tao. The reason why the Tao is called the Tao is that it is not a lofty goal, but the place where you step on every step. When you only look at  When you focus on the target in the distance without paying attention to your feet, the road has already become crooked. Those seemingly gorgeous distances are mostly just illusions of your own imagination." Nangong Wuji sighed and looked at  Nangong Wuji's eyes were like looking at a child who was not very sensible and needed education.  "Just like you and that little brother She, you both want to achieve a great career. But he actually wants to please Yuan Zhiyue and show off his talents, but you want to live up to the Nangong family  No matter how talented you are or how many calculations you have, what is the difference between you and two country boys who are fascinated by a village girl and burdened by their own false reputation?"

    "You don't even understand the reason in your heart, but you are just confused by big names such as some great cause and the rise and fall of humanity. Do you think you are really doing something groundbreaking and great? The confusion of humanity.  That's exactly what the delusion is. Do you think that the five evil tactics of that day are just a few evil techniques? That is the evil obstacle hidden in the human heart. It is a trend that has become obvious in the world. You didn't practice the Ghost Heart Curse, but you have already  You are trapped in the delusion of humanity without realizing it. What is the outcome of the two of you in the end? One has a split soul and lives in a state of confusion while harming countless people. The other regards blood relatives and close friends as tools. As a result, friends kill each other and their skills backfire. If it hadn't been peeled off,  That magic power can only turn into a crazy ghost who eats people and drinks blood in the end. This is not because you two are unlucky and have poor planning. It is an inevitable end sooner or later. Just because from the moment you set your mind, you  The two of them are just little puppets dragged along by the torrent of humanity."

    Nangong Wuji looked pale.  Cold sweat rolled down his face.  At his age and in his status, he was scolded as if he were a young boy. This is simply unbelievable to the extreme. No one would believe it if word spread.  But now he has really been trained into silence and can't bring himself to refute at all.  Not only because the person who was reprimanding him was the person he respected and respected the most, but also because he did understand a little bit.

    "You don't need to worry about the affairs of Yingshanwei any more. Leave it to your third brother. You can follow me back to my old house in Yuzhou to re-study and recuperate. As for the Shenji Hall and the Tiangong Project, there is no need to go there anymore.  We have argued with the Tang family. You have ruined the skills of the second son of the Tang family. You have also injured the life of the eleventh young master before, so you will treat it as compensation to them. As long as they are willing to accept the order of the court in name, then we will not interfere anymore.  .¡±

    Even though he was in deep fear and uneasiness, Nangong Wuji's expression changed greatly after hearing these words: "Brother, then that day, both the Artificial Plan and the Shenji Hall have been managed by Fang Zhifang to create a big situation.  It can have a huge impact on the world right away, how can it be left in the hands of the Tang family"

    "It's just a bunch of dead objects." Nangong Wuji said lightly.  His voice was calm and gentle, as if this was really just a no big deal.  "You did something wrong and owed someone else something. Shouldn't you pay it to others?"

    "But it can't be like this"

    Nangong Wuji glanced at him: "The core secret of the Tiangong Plan is the Ghost Heart Curse, which is also formed by the Ghost Heart Curse. Don't you understand? It is simply a thing that conforms to the general trend of humanity. In the future  But what kind of waves it will cause in the world is no longer something you or the Tang family can control. In the long run, it makes no difference who controls it. The Tang family is the first family that has stood firm in the wilderness for a hundred years.  He is ruthless and decisive, but he actually knows the right and wrong, so if I put it in their hands, I wouldn¡¯t worry too much." Having said this, Nangong WujiLet out a long sigh.  "The West Di Wolf God is about to awaken, and the world is about to undergo great changes. There are still many things that the Shadow Guards should do. Don't focus on this small machine skill."

    "Yes" Nangong Wuji could only bow his head.

    "That's right." Nangong Wuji suddenly asked.  "Have you asked Jin Zhi about Si'er girl's marriage? Where is she now?"

    "Brother He said that since Si'er girl has come down from the mountain, she will make the decision on her own affairs." Nangong Wuji replied, thought for a moment and then said immediately: "She should be in Tangjiabao now. I will repair the book for her immediately.  Come back. The engagement with the Tang family will be temporarily suspended"

    ¡°No need.¡± Nangong Wuji shook his head.  "I'll write to ask her. Jin Zhi is right, she should make her own decision on such matters."

    ? ###

    Shuzhou, Tangjiabao.

    The autumn weather is crisp and clear.  Today is a rare sunny day.  There are no clouds in the sky. The bright autumn sun shines warmly on people, and they don't feel the sweltering heat of the past.  The smiles on the faces of pedestrians and vendors in the street seemed brighter than before. The old people drinking tea in the teahouse also moved their tables and chairs to the door. Even the continuous century-old houses no longer  It exudes a vague aura of decay, and reveals a trace of newness in the sunshine.

    However, He Si'er had no time to feel this rare aura. Walking through the streets, even if she occasionally met the Tang family members who greeted her, she would just nod mechanically.

    She just came back from Tingyufang.  That is the place where Tangjiabao specializes in inquiring about information from the outside world.  Information collected from various overt or covert channels in the Tang family was gathered here, and she had just collected the information she needed from there.

    Being able to extract information from there shows that the people in Tangjiabao really regard her as one of their own to some extent.  Even when someone occasionally greets her on the street, they call her "Fourth Young Mistress".  But at this moment, she was completely at a loss as to the meaning of this title, and was confused because of the letter she had just received this morning.

    The letter was written by my uncle Nangong Wuji.  The letter not only pointed out the mistakes that his second uncle Nangong Wuji had made all along.  The special mention was about her engagement with the Tang family, allowing her to make her own decisions.

    Let her make her own decisions.  This time she was completely lost and confused.  Her determination and strength all came from the great goals her second uncle told her, but now these goals and directions were labeled wrong, and she was immediately at a loss.

    What should I do?  What can I do?  For the first time, she found these questions so difficult to answer and face.  She had been disappointed with the engagement, but now that someone told her she could go back, she didn't know what to do.

    In a daze.  She had returned to the attic.  This is Tang Qingxiao's residence, and it is also her residence these days.  It's just that one of them lives upstairs and the other lives downstairs, and they rarely meet each other.  Today was a special case. Tang Qingxiao actually asked her for help. He wanted all the information collected from Ting Yu Fang.

    As soon as he returned to the attic, He Si'er saw an old woman walking towards her.

    This place is considered a relatively remote place. Tang Qingxiao does not want any servants, and it is a little too deserted. During the time He Si'er lived here, except for Mr. Tang and those disciples from the clan who were summoned, there was no one.  See other people who have been here.  So she looked at the old woman with some curiosity.

    She was just an ordinary-looking old woman. She was over 60 years old, with a slightly hunched back. She was dressed in unusual linen clothes and had her hair wrapped in the customary turban worn by old people in Shuzhou. She held a dry pipe in her hand and put it to her mouth from time to time.  While taking a sip, except that the hand holding the dry pipe was a bit thick, this was an ordinary old man who could not find anything out of the ordinary.

    ¡° But this is Tangjiabao, and the old man who can appear here is definitely unusual.  On the street she passed just now, those ordinary-looking old people drinking tea and listening to operas in street teahouses were each famous in the world when they were young, or they had secretly made waves in the situation, so He Si'er did not  Without the slightest indifference, he waited patiently for the old woman to approach and then bowed.

    The old woman smiled and nodded to He Si'er, her eyes full of kindness towards the younger generation. Without waiting for He Si'er to speak, she nodded: "It's hard for you kid these days. Come on, let's go up together.  Look at Xiaosier."

    The old woman's voice was pleasant, and the tenderness brewing in her eyes made He Si'er feel warmer than the sunshine falling from the sky. She nodded quickly and led the old woman upstairs.

    There were only two simple rooms in the attic. He Si'er and the old woman walked up and saw Tang Qingxiao.  However, Tang Qingxiao didn't see them, because he had been sitting there blankly, looking at the girl in front of him.?A sword was stunned.

    It was a long sword that was long and slender, completely pitch-black, with the hilt and sword body integrated into one piece, as if it was faintly breathing dark red light.  He Si'er didn't know where the sword came from. She just felt that the sword looked familiar inexplicably, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.  After returning from Jingzhou, Tang Qingxiao stared at the sword in a daze all day long.

    "You're back. Is there any news?" Tang Qingxiao still looked at the long sword in front of him without looking back, but he already knew from the footsteps that He Si'er was back.

    He Si'er was slightly strange.  Not to mention the conversation between the old woman and her downstairs, she could hear the old woman's footsteps going up the stairs behind her, and the dry tobacco bag in the old woman's hand still exuded the fragrance of tobacco leaves.  With Tang Qingxiao's sharp senses trained over time, there was no doubt that he could detect it, but he didn't question it at all.

    She couldn't help but glance at the old woman next to her. The old woman was still smiling, as if she didn't mind the cold reception at all.  After a pause, He Si'er replied: "They arrived in Qingzhou safely two days ago and disembarked in Luoshui City. It was a safe journey."

    "Luoshui Cityare they going to sea to Yingzhou?" Tang Qingxiao still didn't look back.

    "I don't know." He Si'er replied, paused and then said.  "Maybe. If they want to go to Yangzhou, they can just follow the river into the Luo River, and there is no need to disembark in Luoshui City."

    "Wellit would be nice if we went to Yingzhou. I feel more relieved." Tang Qing smiled and sighed, and stopped talking.

    There was a strange silence in the attic, and He Si'er couldn't help but say: "This mother-in-law came here specially to see you, why don't you turn around and see her?"

    "Mother-in-law?" Tang Qingxiao finally frowned and turned around. It turned out that he really didn't notice the old woman walking up with He Si'er.  But when he saw this old woman, he was shocked.  "Old lady? Youyouwhy are you here?"
